Here are clear and structured notes on the mentioned additive manufacturing (AM) technologies:
1. Digital Composite Manufacturing (DCM)
Working:
Uses a combination of fibre reinforcement and polymer matrix to create strong composite parts.
Deposits continuous fiber strands with thermoset or thermoplastic resin.
Achieves high strength-to-weight ratio for aerospace and automotive applications.
ASTM Category: Material Extrusion (ISO/ASTM 52900)
Raw Material: Composite filaments (e.g., carbon fiber, fiberglass, Kevlar, and polymer matrix)
Support Structures: Required in overhanging structures, but minimal due to the self-supporting nature of composite layers.
2. Color Jet Printing (CJP)
Working:
A binder agent is selectively deposited onto a powder bed (typically gypsum-based) in a full-color printing process.
Successive layers build up the part, and post-processing involves infiltration for strength.
ASTM Category: Binder Jetting (ISO/ASTM 52900)
Raw Material: Plaster or polymer powder with colored binding agents
Support Structures: Not required as the surrounding powder acts as support.
3. Three Dimensional Printing (3DP)
Working:
Uses inkjet or binder jetting techniques to create parts by binding powdered materials layer by layer.
Often used for prototyping and mold-making applications.
ASTM Category: Binder Jetting (ISO/ASTM 52900)
Raw Material: Powdered metal, sand, ceramics, or polymers with liquid binders
Support Structures: Not required; powder bed supports the part.
4. Nano Particle Jetting (NPJ)
Working:
Uses inkjet nozzles to deposit a suspension of metal or ceramic nanoparticles in liquid form.
The liquid evaporates, leaving a dense, high-resolution printed structure.
ASTM Category: Material Jetting (ISO/ASTM 52900)
Raw Material: Metal or ceramic nanoparticle suspensions in a liquid carrier
Support Structures: Required for overhangs but removed post-processing.

5. Digital Photopolymerization Printing (DPP)
Working:
A UV light source selectively cures a liquid photopolymer resin layer by layer.
Similar to SLA but with variations in exposure and light projection.
ASTM Category: Vat Photopolymerization (ISO/ASTM 52900)
Raw Material: Liquid photopolymer resin
Support Structures: Required for overhangs and complex geometries.
6. Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP)
Working:
Uses a UV light source to cure photopolymer resin continuously from a liquid bath.
A continuous oxygen layer prevents solidification at the bottom, enabling high-speed printing.
ASTM Category: Vat Photopolymerization (ISO/ASTM 52900)
Raw Material: Liquid photopolymer resin
Support Structures: Required for overhangs and complex designs.
7. Projection Stereo lithography Apparatus (PSLA)
Working:
A digital projector selectively cures liquid resin layer by layer, creating highly detailed parts.
Allows for rapid production with fine resolution.
ASTM Category: Vat Photopolymerization (ISO/ASTM 52900)
Raw Material: Liquid photopolymer resin
Support Structures: Required for overhanging structures.
8. Fused Granulate Fabrication (FGF)
Working:
Uses granulated thermoplastic material instead of filament, which is melted and extruded layer by layer.
Suitable for large-format printing with industrial applications.
ASTM Category: Material Extrusion (ISO/ASTM 52900)
Raw Material: Thermoplastic granules (e.g., ABS, PLA, PETG, PP)
Support Structures: Required depending on the complexity of the design.
9. Sand Binder Jetting (SBI)
Working:
A liquid binder is selectively deposited onto a sand powder bed to create molds or cores for casting.
Post-processing includes curing and removal of excess powder.
ASTM Category: Binder Jetting (ISO/ASTM 52900)
Raw Material: Sand with binding agents
Support Structures: Not required; surrounding sand supports the structure.
10. Smooth Curvatures Printing (SCP)
Working:
An advanced technique that enables smooth, curved layer deposition rather than traditional layer-by-layer stacking.
Reduces stair-stepping effect and enhances surface quality.
ASTM Category: Material Extrusion (ISO/ASTM 52900)
Raw Material: Thermoplastics, composites, or photopolymers
Support Structures: May be required for complex geometries but minimized due to smooth layering.
